STILL FLYIN

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

At anywhere upwards of 15 members at a time,  Still Flyin’ are a massive indie explosion of feel-good music. More of a collective than an actual rock band, Still Flyin’ is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Sean Rawls, who formed it in late 2004 in San Francisco after relocating there from Athens, GA, in 2003. Rawls was inspired to put the group together by a song he had written while a member of Je Suis France, “Never Gonna Touch the Ground.” To jam on the song, he invited a wide range of friends to rehearse, resulting in an ever-shifting personnel that has counted members of bands such as Track Star, Aislers Set, Ladybug Transistor, Love Is All, Maserati, and Red Pony Clock amongst it’s rotating collective.

This is really thrillingly uplifting indie music with horns, janglin guitar, and moogs all flying off into space, and very possibly the most fun you’ll have all month.
